Info/Gaz's replacement script

Overview

Gaz's replacement script is the meta-name for a Perl script created by Gaz Lloyd. It is useful for various RuneScape preservation tasks, especially when dealing with cache data.

Usage

Create a text document called input.txt that contains string enclosed by __ (to avoid replacement errors), similar to this:

__100__
__1__

The script should then be copied and have the replacement section be like this:

my %replacements = (
    "__1__" => "Toolkit",
    "__100__" => "Ranarr potion (unf)"
);

Review synthax highligting for formatting errors.

Once done, run perl "Replacement script.pl" "input.txt" in CMD. This will create a output file called input_out.txt that will contains the replaced data.
